iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA), BlackRock's U.S. spot Ethereum exchange-traded fund, launched in July 2024 and among the largest ether ETFs by assets.
US bitcoin and ether ETFs shed about $965 million in two sessions as ether funds logged an eighth straight day of redemptions. Most of Thursday's selling sat in Fidelity's FBTC and BlackRock's ETHA, consistent with a few large holders trimming positions.
Reality
BlackRock's ETHA lost $201.89 million on Tuesday, the entire ether ETF outflow in a sixth straight losing session, as its IBIT drew $122 million. So far the gap between bitcoin and ether money sits inside one issuer's two funds, and no other ether ETF had net flows.
Reality
US spot bitcoin ETFs lost a net $89.9 million on Monday as $159.8 million left ARKB and Fidelity's FBTC while BlackRock's IBIT took in $69.85 million. One session that followed about $293 million of inflows is thin evidence that buyers are settling on a single fund.
Reality
Nine sessions of buying since August 17 pulled $1.42 billion into US spot Ethereum funds, and $1.02 billion of it landed in one BlackRock product, which makes this a distribution story before it is a conviction story.
Reality
Cloture on H.R. 3633 failed 49-50 on Sept. 15 with every yes vote Republican. Add the four Republican noes back to the yes column and the count reaches 53, still seven short of the 60 the Senate requires.
